Migrant Health is Public Health!
Self-testing for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) may be useful for people who may be at risk for HIV but who may have difficulty accessing testing services for a range of reasons. In Western Australia, this includes migrants from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. However, we don’t currently know what migrants think about using self-testing methods for HIV. Our research team is interested in hearing from migrants who can share their perceptions about HIV, HIV transmission and HIV testing so we can better understand how to support their needs.

We would love to hear from you if you:

• are from a culturally and linguistically diverse background

• are from Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia or sub-Saharan Africa

• are aged 18 or older

• are living in Western Australia

• have an interest in sharing your views on HIV

 

What to expect
We would like to spend around 90 minutes speaking to you about your views on HIV and HIV self-testing. We will ask you questions about HIV and sexual health and would like you to share whatever you feel comfortable sharing with us.

Your participation is voluntary and all information you provide to us is confidential. We will offer you a giftcard to acknowledge the time you have taken to participate in this research.
